Mavic R-Sys Rear Wheel Failure

Mavic R-Sys rear wheel failure. From http://bikehugger.com/2009/06/mavic-r-sys---massive-carbon-f.html as of 2009/08/23.

Mavic R-Sys front wheels were recalled, but the rear wheels were not, and appear to suffer the same multiple-spoke failures.

Rider reports "something struck my rear wheel" while riding, and immediately several spokes broke.

The rider notes "it seemed odd that Mavic was only recalling the front wheels when the rear wheels utilized the same prone-to-fail spokes as the front."

The wheel service history is unknown but predates the recall. The failure was in June of the same year, so the rear wheel is over six months old.
